Property Taxes in San Antonio

[Jerri Myers]

I'm wanting to purchase a house in San Antonio.  However, there are over $50000 owed in back taxes (this includes penalties and fines)  Does anyone have any experience negotiating with the tax office to get some of this reduced?  The house is not worth it if I can't get them to take off some of the fines and penalties as there is also abt $40000 worth of repairs that need to be made.  The house is not habitable as is.

Thanks
